Product Summary and Explanation
Candida albicans is the etiological agent in candidiasis, which can range from a mild to severe infection of skin, nails, and mucous membranes. Several media formulations have been developed that will promotemorphological or physiological characteristics in Candida albicans, and differentiate it from other Candida spp. and other genera. One of the most important differential characteristics of C. albicans is the ability to form chlamydospores on certain media. Corn Meal Agar stimulates sporulation of C. albicans, and is useful in suppressing certain other fungal growth. Chlamydospore production is an important diagnosticcharacteristic used in the identification of C. albicans.
Kelly and Funigeillo reported that the addition of 1% Tween 80 enhanced chlamydospore formation by C. albicans.
